Council defers decision on $400,000 wastewater treatment master plan to allow fuller review
Summary
City staff proposed using about $400,000 from the wastewater treatment plant fund balance to accelerate a master plan and start spring/summer work sooner; council agreed to postpone a final decision until the next meeting for more discussion.
City Manager Carter told the Casper City Council staff would like to accelerate planning and early work at the wastewater treatment plant and proposed using roughly $400,000 from the plant’s fund balance to pay for a master plan and earlier procurement.
Carter said moving sooner would let the city bid work earlier so contractors could perform construction in spring or summer rather than later in the year. He told council the amount—about $400,000—would come from the wastewater treatment plant fund balance and that a budget amendment would be required if council chose to proceed.
Tom was available to answer technical questions, but councilors said they preferred more time to review the proposal. Carter asked whether council wanted to take the item up that night or delay; several councilors and staff agreed it would be appropriate to revisit the item the following week to allow more conversation and questions rather than brief discussion in the remaining meeting time.
No formal vote was taken. Council directed staff to return with additional information and scheduled further discussion for the next meeting.
